The Dulwich Hamlet match reports are a guilty pleasure for me, here's a snippet from a match report earlier this year. They are er... not your normal match reports.



"As the sun lightly toasted pallid skins exposed to the first burst of summer's bounty, the game was afoot. Blistering heat, blistering pace. No doubt buoyed by Churchillian orations from the respective managers both teams were off like hounds upon the scent of the fox but pell-mell football ensured, a steadying hand and the huntsman's trump needed to bring headstrong hounds to heel and set them upon the true trail to triumph. As the dust clouds swirled in the gladiatorial arena, defences reigned, Nyren Clunis swamped by yellow shirts when close to goal, Francis Duku beaten in the air by the Hillians' ambling alp, Danny Gainsford. Kalvin Morath-Gibbs popped a header wide, flying like a flacon to meet an incoming free kick."


This season's match reports haven't quite got going yet, but a good attempt from a few weeks ago..



"Whilst gilded youth and guns for hire of the Premiership play for places, pride and the dubious glory of the trip to some backwater of the former Soviet Bloc come next summer, down in the boondocks of the Non League Football, the old credo of winner takes all still rings. Some will break the bank to take their team to the title, the only position take guarantees promotion without the agonies of playoffs, others will invest in youth, spend the few shekels they have on proven talent and Non League nous. Such is Sittingbourne, haunted by the ghosts of past ambitions, when like Icarus they crashed and burned amid accusations of dirty dealing, from those into whose care the club had fallen but who would sell that heritage for a mess of potage."

Sorry Laddy Muck, I've only just noticed this thread that you started after all these months.


It's been quite a season so far. Fingers crossed for the rest of season. The next two away matches (Whitehawk on Saturday and Bognor Regis the following Tuesday) will both be tough and a good indication as to how strong they really are.


I've just posted the following details of fixture changes that now take place in October in the What's on Section:


Saturday 1st October - the scheduled league home match is postponed - Dulwich are instead away to Sutton United in the next round of the FA Cup.


So the next home games scheduled are:


Tuesday 4th October - Merstham at home in the Ryman League (although it could be postponed if either team has a cup replay).


Saturday 8th October - Godalming Town at home in the League Cup (new date)


Tuesday 11th October - Hythe Town at home in the Ryman League (new date).


Thanks for your support and keep spreading the word.

The youth team are on the march again.


In the FA Youth Cup last year they reached the 3rd round proper of the competition - beating Yeovil Town before losing to Newcastle United, both of them memorable evenings at Champion Hill.


This year they had to start all the way back in the preliminary round again and were handed three successive away ties!


Nevertheless they won their first tie at Sutton United 3-2 (having come from behind to do so) and tonight have cleared the next hurdle winning 4-0 at Molesey.


They will be away to either Welling United or Lingfield in the next round. Hopefully they can win that and get to play a tie at Champion Hill at last.

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274  
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
